I think Freddie was mentioned earlier in this thread several times, so it is fair to name him. Look lady, there is only one original for guy liner or painted nailsor whatever and you don't go after the other 10's of millions plus people who have done that. Are you going to put out an alert that they are all uninspried and copy cats? Do that, then you might have something more useful to do with your time than post on here!
PS Adam has also stated he can't believe his fashion missteps as have all of us! I am not ranting, I think that category belongs to you by a huge margin!

Of course he was mentioned. You had a hissy fit the other day about only wanting AL being mentioned now, because it's current, and Freddie isn't current...all said in the tabloid link thread by no other than yourself.. Seriously, get a grip because Freddie has been mentioned many times before and he be will mentioned with or without your hissy fit. Its a Queen board n case you missed it. Yet, here you are bringing Freddie up to try to boost what you are saying, ironic eh.
No honey, I don't need or want to send red alerts out...and not because of others wearing nail polish and guy liner. WTF? I'm saying Freddie was pretty orginal when he did it in the 70s, as that whole era was like nothing seen before in the music world.
Sure AL has made fashion missteps. That 'Elmo' coat was stupid. The red hair he had recently...didn't suit him at all. IMO of course.
Do you not know that you are posting here as well, as others, did that escape you attention? You are so defensive of AL it's laughable. I'm so scared by your 'look lady' *sarcasm*, but it's you wHo needs to open your eyes a bit more.
snifflese only mentions Freddie to drag him thru the dirt while she worships the sad AL twat. See the "voice" threaad where she slams Freddies vibrato for being awful and praises the parrot again. What a sad delusional person
Exactly right runner 70. Has been mentioned a lot in other places and if you don't hear it, you can't hear very well. Icy twists things around like I have never seen before. You are quite something to come up with some of the ideas that you spit out. Can't follow your reasoning or your venom most of the time. You are no different with your totally Hero Worship of Freddie. You are like the opposite end of Caroline, just in favor of Freddie. Don't know why you can't see that. Freddie is not your family to be sooo protective of. It is honestly creepy how you defend him.
Snifflese: Freddie is so loved around the planet he is a rock god, a rock musician where your precious adam is just a singer, and a standard one at that.
I know Freddie Mercury is outstanding and amazing and that is why billions of people regard him as the greatest male vocalist ever!
I understand all that perfectly. But to Icy and you two other posters it is as if no one can ever sing Queen music or tour with them or anything of that nature. I am not touting Adam as the be all and end all, but I think a lot of the comments are hurtful and not necessarily true. It is only because you won't give anyone else a chance to perform with them. No one says QAL is Queen, but it can be a really good group that people can enjoy. Adam doesn't need to be called names. You like Freddie best and so do most people, but this is they only way Queen's music is going to be heard in concert and I don't think that is such an awful thing. Adam sings the music really well and most people are happy at the end of the day. It is not a pissing contest between Adam and Freddie.
As far as Freddie not being mentioned, Icy, that is not what I meant on the tabloid thread. That was a comment purely about the tabloids. It was awful and I can't imagine being in that position, but the comparisons were made and everyone understands and there wasn't much else to say. The tabloid stories were about the gay issue and that, fortunately, is not quite as large an issue as it was then. I actually think Adam's performance at the Music Awards almost derailed his career. That kiss was a killer for his career. I think had it not been for that his career could be quite different. Luckily in 9 years there has been tons of progress. I see gay people kissing on mainstream shows and not an eye is batted (myabe not in some parts of the US, but it is much better). I do think it is still harder for a gay artist, but it is not like in 1991. But to clobber QAL about that and why it wasn't fair that they now give good reviews to QAL. I just didn't see what else there was to say about it. Comparing voices, performing styles, fashions, etc is different. It would be nice to discuss best song, worst song, why it works for their voices and interesting things like that instead of just saying negative things about"Lameturd". That is apalling for a grown person to say! You can't be expected to be taken seriously. It is tiresome to always quarrel about everything.

There you go once again, twisting things I have not even posted. I think you do that purposely considering how many times you have done it.
I've never said only Freddie can sing Queen songs, where did you ever come up with something like that. Do I think he sang the songs the best? Hell yes, and I'm not ashamed of it. His voice moves me like no other. I'm not ashamed of that either.
I take it you have never read or choose to ignore what I have posted about the Freddie Tribute in 1992. That would prove to you that I don't think only Freddie could sing the Queen songs.
Yes, you are touting AL as the be all and end all. You are unaware or simply don't care about Freddie's legacy, only that it's AL singing the songs. You think John does nothing but rake money in...even if he does, so what? Does it bother you two guys from Queen are not here to heap praise on AL the way Brian and Roger does? You seem very bitter towards Freddie and John.
The very fact you were so insensitive in the Tabloid Links thread, because AL is now, and Freddie isn't. Clear as day you didn't care what Freddie went through with the tabloids, and only cared that Q+AL got good reviews is more important to you. Of all the things you have said, that was the ugliest by far. Are you really comparing Freddie being hounded in his last years to AL kissing a male band mate on an award show? One was heartbreaking, one done for show. I wasn't clobbering about that, it was you who didn't get it in that thread, and you still don't get it. You think praise, good reviews for Q+AL is what matters, while you don't care or maybe not much aware of what Freddie went through because it was back then. Not to mention you getting all pissy when someone dares mention Freddie. But it's ok for you to mention Freddie days later, even going as far as to say bet Freddie would've liked AL's costumes.
I like how innocent you try to protray yourself. Sorry, I hope no one here falls for it. You came here with an ax to grind about wanting me banned. You have made things very personal towards me, you even threw homophobia back in my face because you thought I was attention seeking, h yea you are the civil one *sarcasm*. You continue and always twist things that are not even in my posts. Your head is so full of Lambert, I think you pretty much want a discussion only between you and the other Glamberts here. Why don't you go to to Adamtopia where everything is sunshine, unicorns etc, that's a real fantasy land over there.
But if you are willing to discuss things with me, at least try to read what I say without your blinders on and twisting so much of what is actually in my posts, or even what isn't.
Impossible to talk to you. I must not communicate clearly as you just don't ever get what I said. There is nothing else that I could possible say. I am done with the subject.

Really it's impossible?
You are unwilling to even try to understand another POV, especially one given by someone where your mind is already made up about that person. As it has been the case about your reactions towards and about me on both Queen boards from the get go. That's where you went and go wrong. Proof is in many of your own posts. Don't try to deflect by pointing your fingers at me.
Oh yeah, done you say, and nothing more possible you could say...until next time you want to bitch me out I'm sure. See how long that lasts this time. See ya, in June perhaps ;-).
still think snifflese and SC and CNB are all the same delusional persons
No we are not. We are reasonable and want to give something new a chance. Freddie is long gone, never to be resurrected and Brian and Roger want to continue making music. Fans that are not delusional love QAL. I think your obsession with Freddie and intense hatred of QAL puts you in the delusional, MINORITY camp!
Snifflese: You are so wrong, many people were protesting about Lambert outside the venues he was playing, with Queen,
He has also got a lot of folk who despise his "in your face" homosexuality and that does not match the music he is suppose to be singing.
Yes Fred was a gay man but he never went on like Lambert, he had some respect for his band mates.
Lambert thinks he is the show, he is the star and he craves the limelight, so you could say he is the one who is delusional, because when May & Taylor call it a day
Lambert will melt into the ground like the wicked witch in the wizard of oz film ! He will be screaming like a goat "im melting, all you glamberts have let me down" ha ha
cant wait for the day when he is on his /her arse with no work in.
Icy, you don't seem to realize that a lot of things can be inferred from a person's post that isn't specifically stated. I have read your stuff for almost 6 years and I know exactly what you think. You don't have to spell it out. I am not twisting what you say, I am no sure how anyone could view it differently. You have a huge obsession with Freddie and really dislike Adam and QAL. Someone else might sing a song, but you have a real animus towards Adam since he does it exceptionally well and is getting praise along with the band. That is what you can't abide. NO ONE but Freddie can be praised for singing Queen music. I am not stupid. I understand exactly what you are saying and for you to say otherwise is just plain ridiculous. No one is twisting anything. It is plain to see for anyone who can understand English. You just like to pretend you are fair and open minded and you don't see what is really there. I don't care if QAL gets praise or not, but I get tired of everyone crapping on him and QAL because they just don't deserve t!

That last post proves you don't know the first thing about Adam more than anything you've previously said.
And were there seriously protests outside venues? I've never heard about that, do you have links to articles about it?
As for Freddie, of course he wasn't in your face about it, he was closeted pretty much, he only came out close to the end when he admitted he had AIDS. It wasn't as accepted then, I daresay he'd be just as open as Adam if he were living in these times.
